Good morning, Y’all!

It’s been a busy week.  I’ve spent a lot of time unpacking boxes and trying to decide where to put everything.  I’ve arranged and rearranged cabinets and shelves.  I’ve arranged furniture and rearranged it.  We finally have everything in the house, including the new entertainment center and cocktail tables.  Yesterday I got some nice curtains for the living room and finally got them hung last night (I had to go back and get new rods cuz I bought the wrong size).  I still have boxes to unpack and stuff to organize, but I’ll get there.  But this is the first time in a long time that we’ve had a place where I can decorate, hang pictures, and all that stuff.  So I’m enjoying that.

And we’re enjoying living in a place where we have some room to move around.  Our little place up in
Indiana was very cramped, and we were limited in what we could do.  Here our living room is twice as big.  Our kitchen is 5 times as big and we have a nice dining room.  And we have 2 spare bedrooms…one we’ve turned into Micheal’s office and the other is going to be the spare bedroom and my sewing room.  I have plenty of walls to hang pictures of the grandkids on.  And I can finally hang my map of the
US to put my state keychains on…all 42 of them!  We have a huge back patio that is covered where we’re gonna put a couple of lawn chairs and we’re gonna get one of those outdoor fire pits to sit around and enjoy when then evenings get colder.

Yeah, I think we’re really gonna enjoy it here.

And I’m going to try to find some time to get back to blogging more often.  I apologize for deserting my buddies.  I haven’t meant to.  Things have just been so busy lately.

And the bigger and better kitchen is enabling me to cook more healthy meals so maybe that will help me get my weight loss back on track.  I’ve had so much to do the past few weeks that I’ve not had time to think about eating junk that I shouldn’t.  And I’ve been a bit more active, even though it’s not making the pain any easier.

I’ll get there.  It may take me longer than I’d like, but I’ll get there.
